This year, the Central Document No. 1 was officially released. This is the 13th Central Document No. 1 to guide the "three rural" work since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. The document proposes to ensure national food security, ensure that large-scale relapse into poverty will not occur, improve the level of rural industrial development, rural construction, and rural governance, and do everything possible to promote agricultural efficiency, rural vitality, and farmers' income.
The more we respond to risks and challenges, the more we must lay a solid foundation for the "three rural issues". Last year, facing the complex and severe situation of increasing external pressure and increasing internal difficulties, the Party Central Committee united and led hundreds of millions of people to face difficulties, and made solving the "three rural issues" the top priority of the whole party's work. Grain production has reached a new level, farmers' income has steadily increased, and rural society is harmonious and stable. The development of the "three rural" cause has achieved exciting results, and has played a role as a "ballast stone" to calm the people's hearts and stabilize the overall situation.
After continuous efforts, rural revitalization has shown vitality, and many positive changes have taken place in agriculture and rural areas. At the same time, due to multiple factors, new trends and new characteristics have emerged, which put forward higher requirements for further improving work. The external environment is complex and severe, and extreme meteorological disasters occur frequently, so it is necessary to further improve the national food security guarantee capacity. Economic operation is facing difficulties and challenges, and it is necessary to further broaden the channels for farmers to increase their income. With accelerated integrated development in urban and rural areas, and profound changes in rural society, we need to further innovate the governance methods of rural construction.
At present and in the future, the overall approach to the "three rural" work is to promote the comprehensive revitalization of rural areas. The main content of this year's No. 1 Document can be summarized as "two continuations and four focus", which is consistent with the work arrangements of the Central No. 1 Document last year, reflecting the continuity and effectiveness of policies, and at the same time, the focus is clearer and the tasks are more focused. The document will further deepen rural reform throughout the whole article, focusing on solving the difficulties and bottlenecks in rural revitalization and prominent problems that farmers strongly reflect, strengthen reform and innovation, so that farmers can benefit more.
Ensure of national food security is the eternal theme of the "three rural" work. The first thing that the document deploys the "three rural issues" is to continuously enhance the supply guarantee capacity of important agricultural products such as grain, which reflects the strategic determination to take food security as a top priority. We must adhere to the principle of focusing on output capacity, production ecology, and increase production and income to improve the comprehensive benefits and competitiveness of agriculture. Guided by the concept of big food, we will develop facility agriculture, develop far-reaching sea aquaculture, develop forest food, and develop food resources through multiple channels.
Consolidating and expanding the results of poverty alleviation is the bottom line task of comprehensively promoting rural revitalization. This year is the last year of the five-year transition period. All localities should focus on industrial and employment assistance, consolidate and improve the results of the "three guarantees" and drinking water safety, and increase support for key counties for rural revitalization. We must meticulously effectively connect the consolidation and expansion of poverty alleviation results with rural revitalization, and shoulder responsibilities carefully, prevent slackness of thoughts and slackness of work, and ensure a smooth and orderly transition.
Developing rural industries is an important means to change the appearance of rural areas. Only by prospering industries can increase income and become rich. All localities should base themselves on their resource advantages and promote the integrated development of developing industries, strengthening counties and enriching the people according to local conditions. To develop rural characteristic industries, it is important to do a good job in "local specialties". You can implement policies according to the village, or develop in connection with villages to achieve staggered development and show your strengths. At the same time, we will give full play to the multiplier effect of industrial integration, develop new functions and new values, and cultivate new industries and new business formats.
There is a correct methodology to promote the comprehensive revitalization of rural areas. We must implement policies in a classified manner, promote the comprehensive revitalization of rural areas at different development stages in a stage, and do not implement a "one-size-fits-all" approach; we must deepen reforms and continuously stimulate the endogenous driving force for the comprehensive revitalization of rural areas. Let us gather all forces, work hard and work hard for a long time, promote a more stable agricultural foundation, a more prosperous rural area, and a more prosperous life of farmers, and paint a magnificent picture of the comprehensive revitalization of the countryside.
